hi, I have a Empiretech IPC-T54IR-ZEB-S3, thats also a IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 which means the B is just "black"

I have tried to add this stupid thing to literally every camera software out there. Zoneminder, Shinobi, Agfent-DVR, etc. FAIL EVERY TIME!

What am I doing wrong? I have an ONVIF user set up, but that doesnt matter. I cant use the ONVIF login or my admin login for the cam to get any kind of feed. Does anyone have a goddamn url that will work for VLC with this camera? it can include a login, I dont care.

I need a valid URL for this camera's ONVIF feed, or anything else that will let me add it to NVR software. YES I HAVE ONVIF ENABLEd!
 
What is the IP address of your system?

You likely are not on the camera IP of 192.168.1.x

The camera default IP is 192.168.1.108

You need to make it the same IP as your system.

At initial power-up, the cam needs to be initialized. This is done using a web browser (with your computer on the correct IP scheme as @wittaj mentioned) to log in to the cam, answer some basic questions and set the password.

Any chance you've performed this step yet?

Yes guys, my camera is on my 10.* network and it's been initialized. I can get alerts through the DMSS app, if that helps.

Good to know.

Perform a full reset of the camera, you can initiate it from the GUI, or use the reset button under the memory card cover. I perform this step religiously two times consecutively wit all my new cams.
 
I dont want to fully reset the camera. I have it all set up the way I want. I just can't seem to add it to any NVR software. Can anyone who HAS added iut tell me the URL they use to do so? or any settings I may have overlooked? something is missing here.
 
Run ODM, insert camera's username/password into ODM and allow it to log into the camera IP that you stated is on your 10.* network."
Highlight the camera in left column to make the box black.
In the next column to the right, second box down you should see a live video thumbnail.
Click on "Live video" below that.
The RTSP URL should be found at the bottom, below the large live image at the right.
